At a Crossroad...Career help

[nursey_nurse]

I am a 22 y/o RN with one year experience in Med-Surg/Tele and just started on a peds floor. I am just about to finish my first semester in the RN-BSN program (about 3 more semesters to go). My peds floor right now is comprised of about 80% new grads or one-two year experiences as RNs. There was a drama on the floor before I got hired so all/most of the seasoned nurses transferred out.There is an opening for an Assistant Unit Manager position right now but no one is applying. I learned that the current night AUM only had one year experience as a RN without a Bachelor's degree when she was hired last year. This gave me a little hope...hehe My plan is to apply for the assistant nurse manager position next year when I will only have one more semester left in the BSN program. My question is what kind of duties and responsibilities this position entails? Salary? Hours? I'm also contemplating being a nursing educatior when I finish my BSN. What's the typical salary for a nursing educator in a large metropolitan hospital?

After I get my BSN, I will go directly to a a Master's of Science in Health Care Administration-Accelerated program and perhaps have a baby in between :spin: Ultimately. I want to hold a position with regular office hours, no weekends, no holidays since my husband is not in the healthcare industry. Aside from being a unit manager, what other positions can I get with a MSHCA that has my preferred hours?

Will an Assistant Unit Manger position benefit me when I get my Master's in Healthcare Administration? I'm thinking of working as a case manager, risk manager, or project manager with this degree.

Sigh...so many decisions. Can somebody please shed some light?

Thanks in advance!
